Growing up in the South, I was taught that hospitality meant offering a fresh cup of coffee and dessert to anyone who dropped in for a visit. It didn't matter if it was a simple pound cake or fruit cobbler, homemade cookies or brownies, or even the special occasion homemade ice cream! What mattered was the sharing and laughing with family and friends.

I don't bake every week myself — much to my husband's dismay! — so when we do have a homemade dessert, it's a real treat. When it's just the two of us, I like to make individual desserts like Tiramisu Cheesecake Parfaits or Mini Blackberry Cobblers so that we don't have lots of leftovers tempting us!

WELCOME!

I’m so happy you stopped by! I’m a Southern girl who enjoys cooking, photography, music, and sharing good food with family and friends. Please stick around a while and see what’s cooking in my kitchen.
